Thanks Western Stars - well played and great thread.

Oh and we’ve got a test coming up and all! My form is holding up well through the series so far so bring it on!

Hopefully another close, enjoyable game.

Bad luck. Thought we'd be in the game chasing 170-odd on a bowling pitch, but we fell quite a way short in the end. Good fight from sante, Headless and cooney to give us some chance on a difficult deck.

Plenty to look forward to in the upcoming test, so hopefully we can make amends.

Go Wests!!

 

[Ljp86]

Lost it with the ball really. 150 is par on this pitch.

I thought 175 was about par, seen some low 200 scores with a bowling pitch in past.

I thought we were a fair chance to chase it down, but not to be unfortunately.

There hasn't been a 2 day Test for at least a week, so it'll be a refreshing change.

I dropped two! But I reckon I was dead close so was well pleased with events

 

[Pugsley]

Would you like me to stick a key in it?

I think I lost a pair of Julius Marlowe's in it last year.

 

[cooney]

Would you like me to stick a key in it?

A key in the pitch or a key for the nose?

 

[The Half Back]

I think I lost a pair of Julius Marlowe's in it last year.

Not to mention my gold and onyx fountain pen!

Not to mention my gold and onyx fountain pen!

It's still a classic. Played it to my eldest who is cricket mad. Richie and Tony were well before his time but he knew everything about them.

Loved the 12th man too.

Good morning All.

Is this the pink ball game of S2?
A few at the gate want to know.

Go Stars!
